ABSTRACT
Open up any introductory psychology textbook, and you will find it. Following a long description of all of Freud’s theories and their historical impact, and just before a long description of Jung’s theories and their historical impact, there will be a tiny entry for Alfred Adler, which will look something like this:
Alfred Adler, an early follower of Freud, broke with him over the centrality of the sex drive in the formation of the personality. Created the term life style,1 though it was not used the way it is today. Instead, it was more akin to personality.
